Merge two tables by two variables in SQL Server -

i have 2 tables want merge 2 common variables.

so have table1

var1       var2       dates       ---------- ---------- ---------------------- 111111     aa          1990-06-20 111111     aa          2000-06-20 222222     bb          1963-06-20 222222     bb          2005-06-20 333333     cc          2006-06-30 333333     cc          2016-06-26 

and table2

var2       dates       ---------- ---------------------- aa          1990-06-20 bb          1963-06-20 

i want output be

var1       var2       dates       ---------- ---------- ---------------------- 111111     aa          1990-06-20 222222     bb          1963-06-20 

i have tried inner join 2 times using "var2" , "dates" in 2 tables. results gave me more rows (duplicate entries) need.

well, common way use inner join:

select t1.* table1 t1 inner join table2 t2     on t1.var1 = t2.var1     , t1.dates = t2.dates 

but makes more sense when want use columns second table. in case, just:

select * table1 t1 exists(select 1 table2              var1 = t1.var1              , dates = t1.dates)
